 There have been no noteworthy dlscOv- cries of nickel in Arizona, but if may be that in the search for gold and silver, nickel lodges have been abandoned as worthless. IL might pay cur prospect ors to give some attention to the char scter and appearance of nickel-begring ores. as there IS DO reason why this coun- try, with its wonderful variety of miner al wealth, does not contain one or more ulckel mines. The owner of 6 good nick el claim has almost 6 mine of ready mo ney, as purchasers will never talk low figures and delay on account Of the con- ditiOn Of the market. The market for nickel will be a rising market Tor some years.-Epitaph.

Warner touches IS certain to become attractive, and from SC fertile a subject as this We shall ex-| pect a rare treat. especially as he begins by saying, "To me Mexico IS one of the most interesting countries l have seen, and so novel on every hand that l en- loved in a way that which IS disagree able almost as much as that which is pleasing. It IS novel, and yet. now and again, strangely familiar; for m its life it is a patchwork sort of country, with a degraded civilization, constantly sug gesting in n secondhand Way a halt dozen other countries and peoples" This paper describes the journey from Fl Paso to the City of Mexico, and sbounds in bright, flashing pictures and droll turns of description like the fol- lowing At all the stations are crowds of boys, men, and women, who offer for sale oranges, sweets, and queeT-leoking fruits which are out of season and do not taste good. and they make tremen- dous clRmor.
